It's quite an interesting topic (why the NBA salary cap does not encourage balanced competition, compared to the NFL or NHL), really. You're not wrong that the NBA does have some aspects that will make it hard to ever have true balance - but an NHL style salary cap would go a long, long way to evening it. | |
| Aug 1, 2017 at 15:15 | comment | added | Joe | NBA's salary cap is "bad" because it doesn't do a very good job of being a salary cap: it's not a hard salary cap, and teams can go over it easily. Lebron is underpaid by any reasonable metric you might choose; that's not controversial in the world of sports statistics. It's in fact built into the salary cap - the limit on top player salaries. If it weren't there, they'd be paid more (that's obvious - why have a limit otherwise?) | |
